[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] RDA Tags

[Yamil Suarez]

I just wanted to mention that I created a page on the EG wiki for RDA  
issues, and I added a section for post recommended steps to customize  
older EGsystems to work with RDA. In case those that have already  
updated their older systems had a moment to share the steps they took.

Thanks,
Yamil
